[netCDF #AIP-356829]: issues on netcdf-4 daily snapshots

Nope, that is your problem. You must upgrade to 1.8.4-pre1 (or just anything 
better than 1.8.3-nap2).

I believe Dennis dealt with these two...

This will be fixed by upgrading HDF5.

ncdump is finding a non-netCDF-4 version of netcdf.h.

This may mean you have an older version of netCDF installed in one of the 
directories specified with -I on the build line. Or this may be a confused 
build, if you first built netCDF without netCDF-4, and then rebuilt with 
netCDF-4, but didn't do a "make distclean" before trying the second build.

Does this help?

Thank you for trying this and bringing it to our attention. We really do rely 
on users like you to help develop netCDF! ;-)

Thanks,
